Transition Doctor of Physical Therapy Degree

The t-DPT degree is conferred upon completion of a structured postprofessional educational experience that results in the augmentation of knowledge, skills, and behaviors to a level consistent with the current professional (entry-level) DPT standards. The t-DPT degree enables the US-licensed physical therapist to attain degree parity with therapists who hold the professional DPT by filling in any gaps between their professional baccalaureate or master's degree PT education and the current professional DPT degree education.

The post-professional DPT (Transitional) degree is designed to provide the doctoral credential to those currently holding a master's or bachelor's degree in the field. Post-professional DPT (Transitional) degree programs typically are based on a primarily distance-learning model.

Famous quotes containing the words transition, doctor, physical, therapy and/or degree:

    “A transition from an author’s books to his conversation, is too often like an entrance into a large city, after a distant prospect. Remotely, we see nothing but spires of temples, and turrets of palaces, and imagine it the residence of splendor, grandeur, and magnificence; but, when we have passed the gates, we find it perplexed with narrow passages, disgraced with despicable cottages, embarrassed with obstructions, and clouded with smoke.”
    —Samuel Johnson (1709–1784)

    “When a doctor does go wrong he is the first of criminals. He has nerve and he has knowledge.”
    —Sir Arthur Conan Doyle (1859–1930)

    “Perhaps it is the lowest of the qualities of an orator, but it is, on so many occasions, of chief importance,—a certain robust and radiant physical health; or—shall I say?—great volumes of animal heat.”
    —Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)

    “Show business is the best possible therapy for remorse.”
    —Anita Loos (1888–1981)

    “There is always a degree of ridicule that attends a disappointment, though often very unjustly, if the expectation was reasonably grounded; however, it is certainly most prudent not to communicate, prematurely, one’s hopes or one’s fears.”
    —Philip Dormer Stanhope, 4th Earl Chesterfield (1694–1773)
